Actor and producer Yara Shahidi has signed with Objectively Good Management (OGM) for representation.

Shahidi is best known for her starring role in ABC’s ‘Black-ish’ and its spin-off ‘Grown-ish’. Shahidi also served as executive producer of the Freeform show, which wrapped its six-season run in May, under the banner of 7th Sun Productions, which she runs with her business partner and mother Keri Salter-Shahidi. 7th Sun Productions has signed a multi-year deal with ABC Signature, expanding in 2022 with the addition of a partnership with Onyx Collective.

“I am very pleased to welcome Yara Shahidi to the OGM family,” said Mohamed Kheir, president of the company’s management, in a statement announcing the signing. “Yara’s talent, intellect and dedication to impactful storytelling, both as an actor and producer, make her a unique force. We look forward to supporting her as she continues to break new ground and inspire audiences around the world.”

The 24-year-old multi-hyphenate’s acting resume also includes the Amazon Studios film “Sitting in Bars With Cake,” in which she starred and executive produced; Disney’s “Peter Pan & Wendy,” where she was the first person of color to play Tinker Bell; a voice role in Netflix’s “My Father’s Dragon”; “Extrapolations” from Apple TV+; and the Disney+ docuseries “Growing Up,” in which she directed an episode. Shahidi will next star opposite Keith Powers and Renée Elise Goldsberry in the coming-of-age romance “Bloom.”

On November 20, Shahidi launches “The Optimist Project,” a weekly podcast created and co-produced by 7th Sun Productions for Sirius XM. The show “delves into the thought processes of extraordinary changemakers who shape their futures with intent,” with a roster of guests including Janelle Monáe, Courtney B. Vance, Hasan Minhaj and Kid Super.

In addition to OGM, Shahidi is still represented by CAA, 2pm Sharp and The Nord Group.

OGM is a Los Angeles-based management company founded in 2023 by Kheir, Matthew R. Cooper, Uwakokunre (Kokie) Imasogie and Nicholas “Nikko” Lara. Their talent roster includes Grammy-nominated musician Masego, creator Elsa Majimbo and podcaster Simran Kaur (“Girls That Invest”).
